Preparation of phenanthrenes by photocyclization of stilbenes containing a tosyl group on the central double bond. A versatile approach to the synthesis of phenanthrenes and phenanthrenoids

We have developed a useful modification of the classical preparation of phenanthrenes by UV irradiation of stilbenes in the presence of an oxidant. This modification involves the irradiation, in the presence of base, of stilbenes possessing a sulfonyl group linked to the central double bond. We have proved that this protocol can be successfully applied for the synthesis of diverse phenanthrenes and phenanthrenoids.
